{title:Description}

{pstd}
The recommended user interface is {helpb mi impute glemb}.  It uses Stata's
official {cmd:mi impute} machinery to manage imputation storage, styles,
{cmd:add()}, {cmd:replace}, and {cmd:rseed()}.

{pstd}
The standalone {cmd:glemb} command remains available as a development and
diagnostic interface.  It saves completed datasets to disk and is retained
mainly for testing and comparison with earlier development runs.
